Re: Trouble using recursion to make a Counter

This was beautiful, thank you.  Served my purpose very well.  This data was
really just sample data, I tried to simplify what I had, but I appreciate
the responses about design issues, always interested in another opinion.

Thanks Mukul Gandhi, very intuitive answer.

Here is a another solution -

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="text" />

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:for-each
select="descendant::*[contains(name(),'Desc')]">
     <xsl:value-of select="position()" /><xsl:text>
</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="." />
     <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
